The people here say they have no worries now, as there are no terror threats of late. With narrow lanes along which small houses accommodate large families, the backstreets of Charminar present a unique sight.
Thousands of people from the old city travel to the new city for work everyday. By evening, they return home in crammed buses and auto-rickshaws and many on their own vehicles.
Now it’s time for the night life in Hyderabad’s old city. “All is well,” says Mazher Hussain, a petty job holder. “This year is rather peaceful with less agitations and curfews,” he adds.
Come to historic old city at night, and one can notice the amusing sight of people purchasing vegetables, shopping at cloth stores, having good time at hotels, rushing at food joints and struggling to park their vehicles.
“The business is getting to normalcy for the last two weeks. The police are not harassing the traders as the old city is running in a peaceful manner,” Azam, a hotlier, said.
“Hyderabadi biryani is an all-time favorite dish, but in the month of Ramadan, Haleem takes over it,” said Sahil, manager of a hotel. “Nahari with Paya and Zabaan is also a special dinner item. Kebab and roti, and shaami parata are the night dishes. People also take parcels while returning from their duties,” he added.
With the situation in the old city being safe and peaceful, night life is buzzing and people from the new city too are thronging to catch the glimpse of uniqueness of life here.
